DPO Digest: Record Retention Management ahead of Summer in Education - Tuesday 14th July 2026 at 10:00am - 10:45am

Briefing Overview

The course introduces the key principles of effective records management, focusing on:

  • Why retention schedules matter and how they apply in schools.
  • Common records that schools hold and their recommended retention periods.
  • How to prepare for the summer break by reviewing and organising records.
  • Secure disposal methods for paper and digital records.
  • Practical tips for managing emails, pupil files, and staff records.
  • The importance of accountability and documenting retention decisions.

Why This Matters

Schools and MATs generate and store large volumes of personal data every year. Without proper retention practices, records can build up unnecessarily, increasing risks of data breaches, complaints, or non-compliance. Reviewing records ahead of summer ensures schools remain compliant, organised, and ready for the new academic year.

  1. Understand the principles of data retention and why they matter.
  2. Be familiar with key retention periods relevant to schools.
  3. Know how to manage and prepare records effectively before the summer break.
  4. Apply secure and compliant methods for record disposal.
